Nice is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Nice was occupied by the Italians in 1940, creating a distinct culture from its' unique history.
Nice is full of Mediterranean beaches that are armoured with pebbles, not sand. If you're not a fan of pebble beaches, don't worry, stepping on these pebbles won't hurt your feet.
PROMENADE DES ANGLAIS
The Nice coastline length streches about 7 km. There are several great restaurants and shops around the Promenade anglais. It is very relaxing to walk along the promenade and capture all the wonderful sea views.
Enjoy the salty breeze and the beautiful view of the ocean by taking a leisurely stroll on the beach. You can sit on the beach for a while, or just lie down and take a quick nap under the warm sun. Nice is the perfect place to relax due to its laid-back atmosphere.
RUE PARADIS
While walking through the promenade Anglais, you will find Rue Paradis. It is in the pedestrian area right next to all the boutiques and shops.
Paradis is the pedestrian only zone of shops and cafés, with Rue Paradis noted for its elegant shops. Along this road you can find Chanel, Armani, Hermes, Max Mara, Sonia Rykeil, Louis Vuitton and more high-end names.
LA COLLINE DU CHATEAU
The Castle Park (Parc du Chateau), also referred to as the Castle Hill (Colline du Chateau), is the highest altitude in Vieux Nice (92 meters above the sea level). This is the place where the ruins of the former Chateau de Nice can be found.
You can access it on foot from Old Nice and Place Garibaldi at the end of Quai des États-Unis or on the Little Tourist Train. You can take the elevator to go up, but there are not many stairs.
# I LOVE NICE
On the right side of the Castle Hill entrance there is a hashtag installation art. Large letters spelling out 'I love Nice' sit on the corner making a great place to take a photo.
VIEILLE VILLE
The Old Town of Nice (or Vieux Nice as the locals call it) is one of the city's main attractions and a must-see for any visitor. This area is what makes Nice different and special. Sure, there are the typical cheap tourist shops, bars and restaurants. But, unlike the rest of the city, Old Town is seducing and charming. It has something for everyone, to enjoy morning to night.
When you pass the market in the Old City, the sea view between the arches is so beautiful. The sea looks as clear as a mirror reflecting the clouds above. The reality is just as good as you could imagine.
